Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for polygonal routing are described. A computer system can provide turn-by-turn navigation in a venue for a mobile device using a navigation graph. The navigation graph can include nodes representing a series of navigation areas leading from a start point to an end point in a venue including indoor space. Each navigation area can be a polygon occupying a non-zero geographic area. The computer system updates the turn-by-turn instructions when the mobile device enters or exits a navigation area in the series of navigation areas, until the device reaches the end point.

Abstract: Techniques for storing information representing a venue are described. A venue data provider may upload venue data to a venue data service. The venue data can include locations, geometries, and business categories of the buildings and floors. The venue data service can validate the venue data, and request a survey service to survey the venue using the validated venue data. A survey can include recording measurements of an environment variable at various locations of the venue. The location service can generate location fingerprint data from the survey. The location fingerprint data can include expected measurements of the environment variable at various locations of the building. The venue data service can provide the location fingerprint data to a mobile device such that the mobile device can determine a location of the mobile device in the venue using sensor readings of the environment variable.
